The local murderer-by-stupid-driving sociopath will be in court to try to get released on bail. The judge will need to get his head examined if he allows it. The previous time on bail Cody was ordered not to drive and it is alleged that he drank and drove the entire time. (Note to PW, I said "alleged", this is not a statement of fact that you should remove for lack of proof). I guess this time he will not saunter in surrounded by his low class friends and lean on the wall with a smirk on his face. This time he will walk in from the holding cell, without his sycophants to suck up to him. Get used to it Cody, you are no hero and your spirit will take quite a beating during your 15 to life sentence. This was not a "youthful mistake" as some would call it. It was inevitable given his bragging and continual flaunting of the law. Oh yeah, his parents don't place much value on abiding by the law either so he comes by it naturally. Lock them all up.

so nice to see the torches and pitchforks out again, hoping for a public hanging before the trial. You folks must be proud of the example you set for everyone accused but not convicted. On the positive side, your lynch mobs may put lawyers out of business.....

It's a foregone conclusion that he's guilty, only an idiot would leave that scene saying, "Well, he is only accused of this massacre!"

He's lucky that a judge will even listen to his case since it seems that his only concern is how inconvenient this all has been for his social calendar. He mowed two people down killing one and shattering the lives of many and that isn't OK now, nor will it ever be OK, get it? The court must say (alleged killer) because that is the protocol but we know the truth.

You like pithforks, how about infernal hellfire? Better get used to the heat. You can't come up with one good reason to rally behind a catatonic looking, smug, remorseless, pretender like Cody Hall. He is a prime example for irresponsibility and vacant space.

Yeah, we are very proud of ourselves and also sick of fools masquerading as sympathetic citizens. Go look elsewhere for your bleeding heart saga.

Wow, little Al, pretty hostile there. Anger management might be in order, as your reaction is way out of proportion, even if you happend to be on that road that day. Thanks for being a shining example of reason and an advocate for due process in our community. Where he is guilty or not is not for you to decide, just as it is not your place to decide his punishment. Save your vigilanty justice for gang bangers, racial hate crimes, and Prius drivers who drive 50 mph on the freeway.

The best way to prevent further tragic events like these is to reduce opportunities for them to occur in the first place. This means early intervention stratagems such as mandatory parenting courses, free on-demand child care (making the parenting courses less burdensome for all involved), and full societal commitment to a steady but sure rise in educational outcome.

To blame this kid as the sole agent in his developmental outcome is to express a blindness as to what we as a society didn't do but can do to ensure better (good) outcomes; to blame society without acknowledging the need for realistic societal interventions is simply a hollow exercise that doesn't begin to address the undeniable need to improve child socialization and development within our complex society.

This kid's parents clearly missed the boat. Universal, free, on-demand child-care, 24-7, might well have helped steer this kid in a less destructive, more productive, direction. Write your political representatives. Tell them you care about our children, all of them, and that you're personally willing to commit added resources toward making much needed programs available to all. Tell them you'll work for their campaigns if they acknowledge the need for such a program and are willing to genuinely commit themselves to its start-up and continued implementation.
